A monitored security system could help you and your family feel safer in your home, and protect the investment you've made. A system guards your home, belongings and family while you're there as well as when you're away.
A monitored home security system protects your family from the dangers of:
- Intrusion through any door or window.
- Smoke or fire.
- Carbon monoxide leaking into your home.
- Water damage caused by broken pipes or bad weather.
- A medical emergency or panic situation.
High quality monitored security systems are encouraged by insurance companies, who will often offer a discount on your home insurance costs if you have a system in place. Today's monitored systems:
- Ensure prompt response to a break-in, fire or hazardous situation.
- Let you summon help with a button that activates a silent alarm or a siren.
- Allow two-way communication. If you trip the alarm accidentally, you give the operator a security code and cancel the alarm.
One study suggests that homes with monitored security are three times less likely to be burglarized. Complete systems protect in many ways:
- Perimeter alarms give early warning of an intrusion.
- Glass-break detectors and door/window contacts detect entry through basement, ground floor or other windows.
- Strategically located infrared motion detectors make sure an intruder will be detected.
- Your system can tell you where the intruder is, or was.
- Loud sirens will scare the intruder away, or silent alarms can alert police without the intruder knowing.
- Warning decals on points of entry can scare off a would-be burglar.
Investing in a monitored security system could make a big difference to your family's peace of mind. You could feel safer in just a day or two!
